Steven Lellis Inn On the Green - (Near Farmington Hills, MI)

David Furstenberg I surprised my wife (well until we got about a mile and a half from the restaurant when she figured it out) for a birthday dinner for a special birthday. We had never been there together and neither of us had been here in more than 33 years. After our experience last night we realize what a mistake that has been! The restaurant is as charming as our memories recall it being. From the moment you enter, you are treated as valued guests. Everyone we came into contact with were both warm and professional. We started with two appetizers to share, the pera cotta and the fiora di carciofi fritta. Both were delicious. We particularly enjoyed the fiora. Prior to the appetizers arriving we were greeted by the sommelier to answer any questions we had about the wine as well as one of the most important people in the restaurant, the young man who kept bringing by very good warm rolls. We never had to request more. We knew Cafe Cortina was known for its lasagna so we decided to get one of each, the Emiliana and the Lasagna Vincigrassi. We did not know that these came with a house salad until the salads arrived which were very nice. The lasagna? Both were decadent in a good way, rich, flavorful and in generous portions. Its not often I cant finish a meal at a restaurant but we actually took quite a bit home. Multiple rolls (I wont admit how many I ate) probably contributed to my inability to finish the lasagna. Neither of us could decide which lasagna was better.....they are different but both outstanding. Dessert was just not going to happen though we saw something chocolate with many layers that looked fantastic. The overall experience at Cafe Cortina was worthy of a rare 5 star for me. We thoroughly enjoyed our evening and my personal thanks to the chef and all the employees we encountered for helping make my wifes birthday dinner special. We will definitely be back!

somica alexander This place is a must try ! The atmosphere is ideal for a date night or evening of fine dining. Such a beautiful experience. We reserved the private dining room and the customer service was excellent. Food was scrumptious,Must try’s are the lamb chops and and the black tie margarita. The mussels were delicious too!

Luxury Chaos Celebrating my birthday at Joe Muer was an experience I’ll never forget. The atmosphere alone made the night special, but the live piano on the weekend truly brought the moment to life. The pianist wished me happy birthday multiple times, and it made me feel so seen and appreciated. We ordered calamari, oysters, sushi, a Delmonico steak, the branzino, and the seafood tower. They filleted the branzino table side, which added such an elegant touch to the evening. The seafood tower was extraordinary, and the king crab was unbelievably sweet and fresh ..easily the best I have ever had. I would return for the seafood tower alone. Everything we tasted was perfectly prepared, and the service was warm, attentive, and polished. I walked out feeling incredibly grateful. Joe Muer was the perfect choice for my birthday and set a new standard for special-occasion dining.

Trisha Rasky Parc never disappoints! Campus Martius is the heart of the city and Parc utilizes the views of all the action! The food is so fresh and creative. Sprouts and wedge best in the city! The drinks always on point! The staff are knowledgeable about their food, drinks and the city! If you’re a guest in our beautiful city you have to try Parc!

Vivian Dbouk Took hubby here for his birthday and the food was way up there. The flavors... you wont get anywhere else. The chef(s) really pay attention to detail and make sure the food is perfect and to your liking. Great place and highly recommend. We had the scallops and asparagus with coconut risotto, rack of lamb, roasted Brussels, calamari, and dessert. Everything was perfect. Thankyou for the wonderful experience.

Amanda Radomski We absolutely love the Highlands for a high-end meal with excellent service. The executive chef is incredibly gifted and the menu is a masterpiece. It’s like an art form. Our servers were incredibly attentive and accommodating—we had to leave quickly because of an emergency with the children at home, and they were very quick to gather everything to help us leave promptly. The expert wine pairing is certainly worth it. It goes without saying that the view is second to none. Please do yourself a favor and make this restaurant a priority to visit!
